​Before The Conjuring came along to sweep horror movie fans back into the rejuvenation of the genre, there was this movie - and appropriately enough, also starred Vera Farmiga in a winning performance far surpassing her later, more notable role as Lorraine Warren. Here, she played a mother named Kate Coleman who's struggling with the loss of her...

The original fairy tales were more like cautionary tales to warn the children to behave. They can range from didactic to downright cruel so as to keep children fearful of the world. When fairy tales do teach a moral lesson, however, their ending - no matter how dark and terrible - can be quite satisfying, as the shock from the awful ending will ensure...

While 10 Cloverfield Lane feels less like a traditional sequel to Cloverfield and more like a spin-off, J.J. Abrams has went on record that the two movies were intended to have a more "Twilight Zone" kind of vibe. In other words, you can consider this to be episode 2 of the Cloverfield movie series. But to honest, I don't...

Is it any surprise that animation remains one of the most creative mediums of storytelling? The ability to meld any world into any kind of story is limitless among animation, and films like Zootopia has proven how effective it can be. John Lasseter has been knocking it out of the ballpark with his contributions at Disney, imbuing very relatable human drama into toys, video game characters, and now,...

I had the toughest time trying to stay awake watching this movie - twice. I didn't manage to finish it the first time a few years ago because I fell asleep - around the part when Hallorann was explaining to Danny about the "Shining", a telepathic ability that can communicate with others without talking, as well as being able...

"They say even the proudest spirit

-Other Mother​
There comes a time when I watch a movie or TV show and think that I could rewatch this again and again and never get sick of it. And there's also a time when I watch something and feel that I desperately need to consult my psychologist and ask her what in the holy mother I watched. If you can guess which scenario was...
